By analyzing the Holocaust poetry of Dan Pagis and correlating it to his biography through the identifying tropes of Pagis\u2019s literature, this book seeks to reveal that the speakers of Pagis\u2019 poems embody a resistance to traditional historical, temporal, and structural narratives while also outlining the scarring effects of trauma continually revisited through poetic engagement. Beyond this, the secondary aim of this book is to bring Pagis\u2019s work to light for an audience that solely reads and speaks English."}, "latest_revision": 3, "revision": 3, "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2020-08-05T12:18:32.738055"}, "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2026-03-28T23:10:21.214700"}}
